Recycling Details:Recycling
I have noticed that the cleaning people put the recycling and trash into the same bin even though there are blue bins specifically for recycling... Does the library not recycle anything?

Answer:

Thank.

Generally speaking, the library does not handle its own trash and recycling. Housekeeping for almost all campus buildings including the library is handled by a third-party company that contracts with University Facilities who oversee the cleaning, trash pickup and so forth in the library building. 

I have passed the question along to campus Facilities staff to see what they say. Others have noticed the same situation and sometimes wonder. Separation of recyclable goods may be occurring later and downstream in the trash process, but I do not really know and have inquired to learn more.

Thank you,
